Receivedyour letter of April 22 only on May 13. I am
sure that in spite of the vast difficulties the proletarians
of Hungary will retain power and consolidate it. Greetings
to the growing Red Army of the Hungarian workers and
peasants. The Entente’s ferocious peace will everywhere
strengthen sympathy with the Soviet power. Yesterday
the Ukrainian forces defeated the Rumanians and crossed
the Dniester. I send best greetings to you and to all
Hungarian comrades.
